You also need a bed
So, create a base that fits along your longest wall. Then you make a set of interlocking slats, so that the lower set pulls out. These get screwed to the wall, on hinges. Then add a leg to the slats that pull out and have your wonderful wife take two mattresses and cover them …

More Progress (8th August 2017)
So, here is how to make a Chuck Kitchen.. Purchase an old desk from St Wilfred’s Hospice Furniture store move the drawer unit to the other side, throw away the three lowest drawers and cut a hole in the top to accept the kitchen unit you have purchased. Then make a small box frame to …

It’s all new! (1st August 2017)
It’s been nearly a year since I posted anything on here.. It really has been that long since we went away in the motor-home. So long in fact that in the interim, we decided it was too big for the three of us and decided to sell it. Not only was it too big for the …

York (5th August 2016)
It was difficult to get started this morning, however when you’re staying in a pub car park, with three other motorhomes there as well, it’s difficult not to get woken up. Last night was quite an eye opener into life on ‘t moors. Sunny one second, heaving with rain the next. We left the pub …

Long Drive ‘cross Moors (4th August 2016)
Up slowly this morning, couldn’t leave early as we had a key to drop off after the Falkirk Wheel opened again. We watched it turn a couple more times had a quick game of tennis in the car park and we headed off.. A long drive ahead of us, which involved some M’s quite a …

Falkirk (3rd August 2016)

Perth (2nd August 2016)
After a lazy morning we had a last wander down to the Loch which was lovely in the sunshine. We then went on to Aviemore for a full Scottish breakfast with both Links and Lorne sausages which fuelled us for our long drive to Perth. We stopped at BritStop 817 where we met Mandy (my …

Landmark (1st August 2016)
Today was mostly about giving Toby a break from walking and general boredom so we found that there was a theme park nearby and headed for it. A short trip and we were experiencing high rope walks, very fast waterslides, rollercoasters, adventure play areas and massive taps amongst a host of other things. It certainly …

Cairngorm (31st July 2016)
A late start this morning. We decided that with both Rob and I snoring as badly as we do no-one got any sleep, so the morning was lazy and irritable. We decided to head up the road to the mountain train which was a perilous drive with large falls off to the side, but we …

A82 part two (30th July 2016)
We left Luss behind at about 10 and headed for our most northerly point, the Cairngorms. This wasn’t going to be a northerly drive at all more of an eastern one, but with Loch Ness and Inverness within range, we decided that as we were here, we’d go for it. So we carried on along …
